Overview:

When trying to solve a problem or improve a process, the optimal solution is not always found by varying just one factor at a time. By using a designed experiment approach, you can perform some carefully designed experiments under controlled conditions to identify the optimal solution. Designed experiments allow you to see how various factors interact with each other. This course will teach you how to set-up, run, and analyze two-level designed experiments.

Target Audience:

  • Design engineers
  • Quality engineers and managers
